ABSTRACT:
A film transporting apparatus for moving film between a film cartridge and a take-up spool includes a bi-directional motor rotatable in a first direction and a second direction opposite to the first direction, a driving gear engaged with the motor and rotatable in a first and a second direction in response to the direction of rotation of said motor, and a pair of displaceable gears engageable with said driving gear for selectively engaging said film cartridge. According to the invention, each of the pair of displaceable gears is independently movable so as to move into and out of engagement with the film cartridge depending on the direction of rotation of the bi-directional motor to allow either winding and rewinding of film out of and into the cartridge. In a preferred arrangement, the displaceable gears are each movable along a slotted path provided in the camera frame.
